It’s almost time to start throwing cannonballs into the deep end of the draft pool.
And the Jets might be going for the Triple Lindy right off the bat.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, at least two teams have called the Jets to see if defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson was available.
While that’s not nearly the same as the Jets making their star lineman available, it is worth noting a few things here.
First, Wilkerson is staying away from offseason workouts because he wants a new contract.
Secondly, the Jets brought Southern Cal defensive lineman Leonard Williams for a pre-draft visit, and that would be a rich set of 3-4 ends if they added him to Sheldon Richardson and they were thinking about keeping Wilkerson around.
It’s the time in the week where we get a bit of noise that never comes to anything, but given Wilkerson’s contract situation, it’s hard to rule this one out at the moment, depending on how the top five picks fall.
